Abstract:
Embodiments of a wireless station and method for controlling use of the 60 GHz band are described. The station (STA) can include memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to decode a packet received from a second STA via a microwave wireless channel. The packet includes information indicating that a millimeter wave wireless channel is unavailable for communication. A current geographic location and a mobility status for the second STA may be determined based on an authentication message originating from a third STA. The mobility status may indicate whether the second STA is moving or is stationary. The second STA may be authenticated based at least on the mobility status. Upon authenticating the second STA, usage of the millimeter wave wireless channel may be suspended for a pre-determined period of time.
Abstract:
A spectrum sharing system includes a plurality of distributed repositories to receive and store information associated with usage of a shared frequency band by an incumbent user. A controller controls allocation of resources within the shared frequency band by a base station for use by a user equipment (UE). An access management entity is in communication with one or both of the controller and the plurality of distributed repositories. The access management entity to limit access by the controller to the information in the plurality of distributed repositories to prevent a level of knowledge of the incumbent user's usage of the shared frequency band.
